Okay, this is weird. It's 7:50 in the morning and I'm blogging. Lol, I have to get dressed and everything by 8:30, then walk over to school. I still have until 8:00 so, here goes. There's spelling bee today!!! I wonder why they call it that? Spelling BEE? Why bee?? Anyway, yesterday I was helping my brother study his spelling. Well, actually I was helping them ALL study. The Junior words are so easy!!! T.T I want to do their spelling bee instead. Haha. Josh is pretty serious about this. 0.0 If you've seen Karlyn's blog you would know. I'm surprised... but it's a good thing. Hardworking Abu!!!! Now, that's a first. ;) Jared's not so bad either. He's memorized mostly everything but it's just that he keeps telling me the correct meaning for the WRONG word. It's so funny!! xD

Till the next time butterflies hit our stomachs!

Weird.

Essay exams make me blog more. It's true! They are curiously starting to make me like writing - just for the pleasure of it. Weird. In addition to that, I think my English is improving. Correct me if I'm wrong. :D

I don't like the large amounts of stress and anxiety that essay exams put on me but I think I prefer the takeaway ones like we had the last round. You see, I get to put in a little bit more effort as well as some of my computer skills to work! :) I very much prefer typing as opposed to writing with a pencil. It's much, much faster. Plus, you get to backspace. :P

You need to listen. Like, really LISTEN.

Welcome back to mah brain dead blog! Would you like some chocolate chips with that, sir/madam?

Okay, first order of business, EVERYONE IS ILL. >_> Seriously man, this is some bug. Who hasn't gotten sick yet?

As a result of all this being sick business, I did more schoolwork yesterday and today. There was no one to talk to! T.T I mean, come on! There was a total of only ten people in school today. Ten! It was kind of depressing. But it got better, I cheered up during dance practice. With these kinds of people, how can you not? *big grin*

Right, funny tidbit time! Dan talks gibberish when he's very ill. The last time it happened, he kept telling himself he was sixteen and nearly pee-ed all over me. NOT kidding. >.< Well, now he has a really bad high fever and my mum said he talked gibberish last night. Darn, I missed the show! Every time it happens, I end up laughing my butt off in his face and he has no idea 'cause the next day he forgets whatever happened. Still NOT kidding. Ahahahahaha, yeah it's good fun. :D

P.S.
Download this song. Really. It is what's been keeping me alive these past few days. And I wouldn't post it on my blog if it wasn't good. Ingrid is currently touring with Jason Mraz as his opening act and he helps her perform this song all the time. YouTube it! :) Happy days~ (But uh, if you're the kind of person who listens to the first five seconds of a song and decides right then and there whether it's good or not, don't even bother. GET OFF MY BLOG AND NEVER COME BACK EVER AGAIN. 'Kay? Mmkay.)



She's pretty, isn't she? I think so. And her voice is even prettier. Take a listen.

Ingrid Michaelson - You And I

Don't you worry there my honey
We might not have any money
But we've got our love to pay the bills

Maybe I think you're cute and funny
Maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you
If you know what I mean

Oh let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Let's get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there
You and I
You and I

Not To Care

You've never seen crazy till you've seen Basil, Daniel, and David go high together. I quote:

Basil:
You know why we're high? You know why?

Rachel:
Why?

Basil:
'Cause we're on the tenth floor. *bursts out laughing*

Daniel:
We're high on altitude! *bursts out laughing too*

Basil:
*goes out to the balcony and shouts* We're high!!!

Daniel:
*imitates Basil* On altitude!!!

David:
*tries to go out to the balcony but trips and hurts his foot* Ow!

Rachel:
*laughing too hard to speak*

Basil:
We're high 'cause we're high up and we're gonna eat High 5 bread and give each other high fives.

Daniel:
*high fives Basil* Yeah!!

Rachel:
*dies* Lameness overload!

(All this time Josh and Tim have been shouting at them to shut up. XD)

:D Boys are funny. And lots of fun. BTW, I beat all the boys at poker tonight. Wahahahaha~ Yeap, wait till the next time Bear. Just wait.

Gosh, I spent the day with six guys. It's kinda nice not to care. :P

A full moon and an essay.

I was just getting ready for bed and hanging my pants on my window grill to dry when I decided to open the grill and look out. And fortunately, up too. It's a beautiful full moon. That instantly made my day. Or what was left of it. o.o One of the descriptive essays we had to do for Sher-Mayne was about something that we think is beautiful. I did mine about the sky. No matter where you are, who you are, or what you are (o.O), the sky is always up there when you need it. You may be passing by a horrific crime scene but the sky would be up there, totally undisturbed and smiling down at you.

...

Then again, it could be raining. But heck, who doesn't like rain? :)

...

...

A lot of people. =.= (Including me sometimes.)

p/s:
I took a picture. See? *points* :) But it sucks. :( A mere picture (especially one like mine! >.>) could never do a full moon justice. You need to see it real life.

Here's a toast, to you.

Here it comes- the first ever equation on this blog.

Home = Hell.

Or something close to it. Home sucks. Does anyone wanna trade parents? Haha, now everyone probably thinks I'm the meanest person on earth, the way I treat my family. And I am. A terrible person, to say the least. I think I'm despicable. I don't deserve to live. In spite of that, I just can't stand my parents. (This isn't an understatement. I really do not like my parents.) Everytime my mum starts talking, I wish that she had never been born. The key benefit in that? I wouldn't be here either. No chance of screwing up people's lives and causing them unecessary pain.

Yeah, about that. I've always wondered. How do you live a life with no regrets? 'Cause I have tons. And I really do mean tonnes! I remember each and every one specifically in my head. Most of them are related to how I've affected other people. How I have changed their lives one way or another. I regret all those stupid decisions I made back then that hurt them, caused them pain, and made them suffer. A few of them are really bad. I don't even talk to those people anymore. I wish I still did.

Then, I think about how that applies to my family too. One day, (probably when she's long gone) I will regret shouting at my mother, and I'll regret not obeying my father. I know I will. But right now, it's just so hard. It is so, so, so hard. Especially when you're caged up like an animal with so many rules, you can't even keep track of them all!

I guess it is helping me in one way though. I pray more! Wanna know why? 'Cause I need help all the time. Whenever I pray, it's always for help in some kind of trouble.

Sigh.

I'm just evil.

Below is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies.

"Here's a toast, to you. May your life be far less complicated than mine." -The Parent Trap (1998)

My Heart's Hearts

I'm old enough to know better, but still too young to care. -Unknown

Maybe my take on life will change when I turn seventeen. Who knows? Let's wait and see. 23rd January, 2009, here I come!

p/s:
I'm sick of being sick. And you can quote me on that.

GAHHH.. everytime I feel better, I always end up getting worse. God, help me!

Lots of stuff has been happening in school, eh? I missed so much already. How can I be sick at such a crucial time in the school year?!!?!?!! I'm pissed. *glares*

At least I got past my glorious PMS and now I'm onto a full week of bloody goodness. >:[ I'm being awfully sarcastic today. I think it's the stupid weather. It's been raining cats and dogs. Now why would I go and say that? I love rain. Sometimes. Yeesh, look at me. My p/s is longer than my two-line post. I am officially cutting off your life here, sad little entry. Goodbye, fellow readers. I'll still be here the next time you're bored and have nothing else to do. T.T

Paramore - Decode (the official single from the Twilight soundtrack)

For all you Paramore or Twilight fans!

Click here to download.

[Retrieved from StephenieMeyer.com]

Hayley Williams from Paramore is a huge Twilight fan and recently talked about her love of the books and the song's title:

"Twilight is the first series of books I've ever read. I didn't get into the Harry Potter series even though I love the movies. Twilight really caught my attention and held it. I'm really excited to see the book adapted to film and excited that our band gets to be a part of the phenomenon. I chose the title "Decode" because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward. Bella's is the only mind Edward can't read and I feel like that's a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It's one added tension that makes the story even better." -- Hayley Williams, Paramore

[Er, from here on it's me. xD]

IMHO, for all you confused males that are scratching your heads as to why girls like the Twilight Saga so much, it's probably 'cause we can relate a little more. After all, the story is told from the girl's point of view most of the time.

People who love to read will understand the feeling. You read a book, get so absorbed in it that you forget where you are. You're so connected to the character, it's like you actually are them. It's a bit like that. :) Sorry once again if I'm making no sense!

Early In The Morning

It just occurred to me that I didn't post about the ACGC08 Finale. Oh well, in short, JEREMY WENT ON A FREAKING FREEBIES RAMPAGE. Yeah. Then Jo, Jeremy, and I watched a rerun of Red Cliff in the cinema. We were all frozen when we came out thanks to the insane air conditioning! >.> But good movie. :) And at an even better price. :) (It's five bucks for reruns.)

My bros played in the COD4 tournament. Everyone was marveling at nine-year-old Jared pwning. Even the guys from ESP. :D [For those of you who don't know, ESP is a COD4 clan.] All three of them made it to semi-finals. Josh got owned by all the pros and lost. Then Daniel and Jared both had to give up their spots in the semi-finals 'cause it got too late. My dad said we had to get home. (I was sitting in a chair reading a mag, half-asleep/half-dead waiting for them to be done. Grrr~)

The whole day was very cool, though. I saw cosplayers, Mishie treated me to lunch (THANKYOUTHANKYOU *bows*), I got lots of freebies (aka junk), made new friends, poked a foot inside the beauty expo going on next door, saw all the COD4 pros in person and man, they have gaming gear! All the expensive keyboards and mouses and Razer mousepads all over the place. (One of them was the biggest mousepad I've ever seen in my life. It was much wider than my laptop and covered the entire radius of the guy's keyboard and mouse!) They even have special backpacks to fit their keyboards in. xD

Heh, maybe I'm making too much of this. But it was my first time to a convention so, too bad for you. ;D (This all happened on the first day of the convention. I didn't go for the second day, which was supposedly better 'cause they had everything all set up. The morning of the first day was slow. Everything wasn't set up and everything started late. That's why the COD4 tournament ended so freaking late, too.)

OH, and I reformatted my com just for kicks. It's so much faster now. :) But it'll get clogged up soon and I'll reformat again! Reformatting is so much fun. :):):)

P.S.
Sorry if my post is very disorganized! I don't have the patience to make it all nice right now. Need to hit the sack!

Download la!

What I has been doing during teh Raya hols is:

going over to Brand's house to hang out with his church youth. We played Monopoly for hours!! It was great fun. Everyone was absolutely hilarious. I skipped talking and just kept laughing. xD

hiding out in my room and downloading/watching the new seasons of Heroes, House, Life, How I Met Your Mother, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Plus lots of other movies - some new, some old. MEDIA FRENZY~~~ (Go download 'em, too! Everything is good. I'm addictedddd.)

tearing my hair out 'cause of my mum. Ugh, I'm gonna go prematurely bald because of her. She's crazy. Home life has gone from bad to worse. Whyyy?? Why, God???? Wherever we go, we're still such a dysfunctional family. T.T

irritating my brothers. Such fun, wei! You should try it sometime. No wait, ALL of the time. It never gets old.
